It’s Time to Revisit Universal Basic Income Especially for artists. It offers the hope and stability we need.

An article in The Tyee argues UBI could provide stability and creative freedom, enabling rest, resilience, and meaningful work. UBI is framed not just as policy, but as a foundation for wellbeing and cultural production. zurl.co/7zp3R

It’s Easter and the US President chose to share this, an unhinged and expletive ridden rant threatening war crimes against the Iranian people. Australians want no part in this and they expect our government to clearly oppose it and organise to prevent it.

Bravo to whoever made this happen!

Impressive 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Australia, Big Gas is taking the piss.

That’s why we made this TV ad – to make sure people know.

We need a 25% gas export tax so Australia gets a fair share.

Factcheck: Will a 25% gas export tax cause higher inflation? No, it will actually lower inflation On Monday, journalists asked if a 25% export tax that help pay for cost-of-living relief would “just increase demand and worsen inflation”. No, it will lower inflation.

Me for @thepointau.bsky.social guess what - claims a 25% tax on gas exports will raise inflation are total bull

Today marks 1,000 days since the Murphy Report was handed to the govt. The timeline of the govt's action since then is simple: none.

No response. No implementation. No urgency. Meanwhile, gambling harm continues to devastate individuals, families and communities.

You'll often hear how the gas industry is vital for Australia because it's so big. But really the only thing big about it is its profits.

US can access military data collected by Australian aircraft in Gulf The defence minister has confirmed intelligence gathered by an Australian surveillance aircraft deployed to support Gulf states can be accessed by the United States, potentially informing its strikes ...

Oh but we’re definitely not in the war. Collective defence and all that

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

Australia and the "Epstein Coalition". Invasion of Iran a disaster - Michael West It’s only Day Five of the war but surely the epic stupidity of Australia so cravenly backing the US Israeli invasion of Iran is evident by now
